Whats going on! After finding out earlier this afternoon that another Homie, young Brother was shot and killed, and a young lady was in critical condition from the same shooting, we went to the scene to bring the spirit of peace, calm and some kind of sense and understanding to the large crowd gathered there. After that we were off to Home going service of another young Brother that was shot and killed, where so many people gathered, some of the same people that were at the earlier shooting/killing. So many people that they had to close the door to the church and cut off the viewing line... I was looking out at the So many tears especially from Mothers, Grandmothers, Children; family/friends., and today is Sunday... I want to share this song that Marvin Gaye wrote and sang over 40 years ago about what was happening then, and as you can see, is still happening today. Heres to all of us, especially for you today, Lena...Love you, and feel your hurt & pain: Mother, Mother Theres too many of you crying Brother, brother, brother Theres far too many of you dying You know weve got to find a way To bring some lovin here today. Father, Father We dont need to escalate You see, war is not the answer For only love can conquer hate. You know weve got to find a way To bring some lovin here today. Picket lines and picket signs Dont punish me with brutality, Talk to me so you can see Oh, whats going on? whats going? Mother, Mother Everybody thinks were wrong Oh, but who are they to judge us Simply because our hair is long? Oh, you know weve got to find a way To bring some understanding here today. Picket lines and picket signs Dont punish me with brutality Talk to me so you can see Oh, whats going on? yeah whats going on? Tell me what goin I’ll tell you what’s going on…
